Nuclear Landscapes: Accelerated Erosion
Caption:
This canyon is in the South Silent Canyon area on the grounds of the Nevada Test Site. Although the area is not used for testing it demonstrates the accelerated erosion caused by nuclear testing nearby. Vibrations from underground testing fracture the rock cliffs, breaking loose huge boulders. [Taken from the book Nuclear Landscapes, by Peter Goin.]
